Traditional design with modern tuning.
Meinl Darbukas are made in the tradition of the original, esoteric goblet-shaped drums found in music from Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Southern Asia. Meinl's darbuka drums are constructed from thin shells in various metals, each metal giving the different models their special timbre. The head is secured and tuned with external rings set close to the shell, in the Turkish-style. Light yet powerful, the darbukas have a deep full bass. They are well suited for high-pitched snapping sounds as well as a wide range of articulated "doum" and "tak" strokes.
These Turkish style hand drums feature fat lows and ringing highs with a wide range between.

Comments about Meinl Aluminum Darbuka:
... a great little drum ... good base, but still tinkering with getting that "just right" higher "TEK" sound; have played a number of ethnic drums and was hoping I could use this drum in place of a dumbek ... time will tell ... also, for the money, it should have come with a spare head ... that would have made it a fair deal.
Comments about Meinl Aluminum Darbuka:
Will be purchasing the additional sizes in the future.
Wonderful product, excellent quality, just what I was looking for.
Durable.
good prices
Comments about Meinl Aluminum Darbuka:
I don't know how "traditional" this is, but it is one sweet little drum. If you put an SM57 on it it turns into a really powerful drum, The tek sounds will cut through anything. The drum has basically no low end, it's doum sounds are very resonant and mellow though. As with other meinl drums I've seen/ played it's put together very nicely. If you have the money, I totally recommend buying it. I think this thing should come with a case though, it seems like the thin aluminum could get dented pretty easily.
